XP Pro SP3

Starting on March 23, I started seeing VSS errors in the Application
Event Log, all from my Avira anti-virus nightly scans. Looking farther,
I found that the VSSADMIN commainds "list shadows" and "list writers"
both produced "Error: 0x8000ffff."

The "standard" fix seemed to be to re-install COM+, so I did that
without any problems, and VSSADMIN produced normal results. After
running normally for a while, I tried VSSADMIN again and found that
"list shadows" was now erroring again. A little while later, "list
writers" was failing too.

Performing the COM+ re-install fixed things again, but again only
temporarily.

What sort of things could be causing this?

I am having a similar problem with Volume Shadow copy when I try to use
the backup utility program in Windows XP. When I try to start the
backup, all it does is hang at this point : "preparing to backup using
shadow copy." My version of windows is XP PRO SP3. I tried registering
the dll's recommended in some other posts but that did not solve my
problem.

I did not try to reinstall the COM+ because I don't know how. I was
wondering if you would be kind enough to let me know how to do this?
